It’s Happening: Octomom Gets a TV Show! (In the UK)
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009We all knew it was just a matter of time. Now the Octomom, Nadya Suleman, and her bazillion helpless children, have landed a TV show. Except it’ll only be airing in the UK … and then they’ll see if the US is interested.
“Yes, it is official. I’m going to be doing a show, but it’s not a reality show,” Nadya tells Life & Style. “What I’m doing with this TV show is basically creating documentaries about the lives of my children. It’s going to be an ongoing thing, and it will follow them from now until they are 18. It’s being done by Eyeworks; they’re in the UK. It will air in the UK and then we’ll see if the US is interested.”
Nadya adds that the documentary style of the show won’t infringe on her family’s privacy: “The producers will come here to film six times a year. They’ll come by and take some footage and then they’ll go. They won’t be invading my life or my children’s lives.”
Plus, the filming will help this busy mom remember the important milestones for her children. “It will give me the opportunity to have incredible home movies that, believe me, I don’t have the time to make myself. Having this documentary crew allows me to focus on raising my children and still have great movies of them.”
I’m kind of confused about this only airing in the UK. You’d think the US networks would be all over this shit like sperm on Nadya Suleman’s eggs. Are they worried about the backlash from the enormous amount of people in the US who realize that this woman is batshit insane and doesn’t deserve to be compensated for bringing children into the world without the resources to take care of them? Don’t people in the UK feel the same? British readers, what’s the feeling over there about the Octomom?
